We return to Fenton Manor for the 3rd consecutive year after making it our home in 2012. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the centre staff for their help in making our events run as smoothly as possible. This year WGUK welcomes the return of Harmony to the circuit and Winter Festival from Ireland who have taken the time to travel and enter the 2014 season. At today’s event we have returned to the usual 4 classes, with no units this year fielding a World class. We have 35 guards representing 17 organisations in competition. We also welcome an exhibition performance by the Buccaneers Mini corps from Essex during the day. During 2014 WGUK continued our policy of sanctioning shows around England and would like to thank the organisations who continue to sponsor shows on our behalf – Anchormen, Avengers, Mayflower, Northern Academy, Oracle and Southern Knights. WGUK also sponsored the first show of the season here at Fenton Manor and we also hosted the very successful WGI-UK regional which was fully supported by WGI who supplied the panel of judges for the event, along with trophies for the top 3 units in each class. It was the first time for a number of years that the UK has held an international regional event, which was also supported by the Dutch unit Passie who travelled many hours to attend the event. We also welcomed Moziac from France who travelled over for the contest in Burgess Hill at the beginning of March and special mention must be made to Winter Festival from Ireland who made their way over the Irish Sea no less than 4 times to be full members of WGUK this season. The end of the 2013 season saw Mark Nicholson elected by the judges and appointed by the board as the Judges coordinator. The 2014 season has not been without its challenges for Mark and the team but it has also seen some great programme training events, including an event run with the WGI judges during their time in the UK. Moving Forward- Mark has also had to direct the training and education this season which has seen the judges continuing to educate, develop and refresh. I would like to congratulate Mark on his first season in this role and appreciate the hard work and dedication he has given. The tabulating team that is Ann and John Legon have once again worked tirelessly and supported every event, travelling all over the country supporting the Judges with administration services and tabulating. Also special mention to the two young ladies, Ellen and Kate Oates, who run their legs off at every event working as judge’s runners, we very much appreciate the time that they give. This season saw the introduction of the UK Fan Network. This new venture has been a resounding success and owes a great deal of the success to Lee Court, who has put an uncountable amount of hours into getting shows online to you as quickly as possible. And with an ever growing back catalogue will keep WGUK and DCUK members and fans occupied for many hours enjoying the guards and bands of the past create and develop into the incredibly talented groups they are today. Lee will also once again be creating the Championships DVD for 2014. I must offer a very big thank you to all the WGUK staff and volunteers, not only for their help today but the WGUK events this season, from the arena set up crew to the workers who tirelessly work the doors, warm up, sound system, judges recording downloading, the referee’s and announcer, without these people the events would not have been a success. I would also like to thank Chris Gibbs for assisting with the coordination of today’s event, and to Nigel Brown for his support as Treasurer of MPAUK and introducing me to the world of finance. So to round up my year as Chair. Firstly thanks to the Guard Directors for having the confidence in me to do the role. Taking over from Mark Gutteridge was never going to be an easy task as his were very big shoes to fill and the work he had done previously to build our activity is a credit to him. I would like to thank him for his help and guidance in my transition. The job is certainly not without its challenges but with the help and constant support of Alan Thompson it has been an incredibly rewarding one once you stand back and appreciate the hard work and dedication you see when all of our performers take to the arena. They are all a credit to the activity. I would like to finish off by thanking you the supporters for your unwavering support for the members and WGUK throughout the season and today. I hope you all have a fantastic day and I hope to see you all again in 2015 Nicola Garlick Chair WGUK WGUK, 11 St Aidans Place, Norfolk Park, Sheffield S2 2NE Tel: 0845 688 8907 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.wguk.org.uk WGUK is part of Marching and Performing Arts UK WGUK Programme 2014.qxp_Layout 1 06/04/2014 08:51 Page 4 WGUK British Winterguard Championships 2014 2013Championships WGUK Programme 2014.qxp_Layout 1 06/04/2014 08:51 Page 5 WGUK British Winterguard Championships 2014 WGUK Programme 2014.qxp_Layout 1 06/04/2014 08:51 Page 6 WGUK British Winterguard Championships 2014 The 2013 Champions 2013 WGUK Championships Results Cadet Class 1 Southern Knights Rugrats 88.49 2 Mayflower Cadets 84.72 3 South West Academy 79.15 4 Avenger Cadets 73.26 5 Thurrock Academy 70.22 Junior Class 1 SPICE 82.70 2 Anchormen Cadets 80.31 3 Oracle 76.97 4 South West Academy 73.59 5 Northern Academy 72.35 6 Avengers 70.02 7 Moonlight 63.43 A Class 1 Mayflower 80.92 2 Northern Academy 79.90 3 Southern Knights A 78.33 4 Avengers 74.68 5 South West Academy 69.56 6 Southern Knights Junior 68.96 7 Kidsgrove Scouts 68.94 8 Reflexions 65.11 9 Thurrock Academy 62.77 10 Cohesion 56.32 11 Spirit of Coventry 50.08 Open Class 1 Oracle 80.05 2 Southern Knights 75.90 3 The Academy 73.45 World Class 1 Mayflower 81.65 2 Northern Academy 76.90 WGUK Programme 2014.qxp_Layout 1 06/04/2014 08:51 Page 7 WGUK British Winterguard Championships 2014 2014 Season Summary Stoke Crawley Halifax Colch ester 12th Jan 26th Jan 2nd Feb 9th Feb Regional Regional Burgess Dewsbury Prelims Prelims Finals Hill 22nd Feb 22nd Feb 9th Mar 16th Mar Open Class Alliance Avengers Kidsgrove Scouts Mayflower Oracle Passie (NL) Southern Knights 55.30 58.10 78.20 75.10 67.50 68.40 61.50 79.60 70.10 69.30 65.00 84.20 - 65.90 80.90 69.60 74.10 60.00 58.20 75.40 75.30 66.30 56.80 66.60 59.00 76.40 77.10 68.10 68.10 65.10 79.00 74.60 74.60 60.60 76.90 70.50 67.50 77.50 67.30 64.40 78.70 62.80 78.20 68.70 - 65.40 76.20 70.80 69.40 - 81.70 63.90 79.00 70.50 68.20 57.78 68.83 64.43 60.18 70.15 64.62 62.18 - 70.35 63.46 70.62 65.91 - 82.10 59.40 63.70 75.10 82.80 72.00 69.30 Anchormen 74.40 - 77.50 - 76.76 76.96 - 82.80 Avengers 58.70 - 64.30 - 66.02 - - 68.30 Bay Vanguard 47.70 - 56.50 - - - - 57.40 Cohesion 59.60 - - 59.90 - - 62.00 - Kidsgrove Scouts Academy 68.30 - 75.30 - 70.78 - - 77.10 Mayflower 75.10 73.40 - 77.30 74.84 75.39 77.20 - - 60.00 - 65.30 - - 66.60 - Northern Academy 76.60 - 79.20 - 74.24 - - 78.10 Oracle Juniors South West Academy 74.10 72.70 74.80 - 76.30 - 76.95 - 77.48 - 77.90 78.50 - Southern Knights - 79.40 80.90 - 80.90 - - 83.30 - Thurrock Academy - 67.30 - 65.60 69.62 - 67.70 - Cadet Class Alliance Antz - 65.50 - 69.30 - 70.00 - 59.70 - 70.00 - 75.40 - 72.20 - 60.80 - 62.30 62.40 62.60 - Mini Moonlight - 59.20 - 64.60 - 62.70 - 70.40 - 78.30 - - 80.70 - - 71.70 - 75.10 - 79.20 - 57.90 - 71.30 - 74.10 - 73.90 - 64.20 - 66.40 - 67.70 - South West Academy Southern Knights Rugrats SPICE Thurrock Academy Prelims Finals Champs Finals Champs Finals Champs Mayflower Cadets Avenger Cadets 29th Mar 66.20 78.20 73.90 - Junior Class Moonlight 29th Mar 66.50 81.40 - A Class Harmony Mayflower Moziac (FR) Northern Academy Reflexions South West Academy Southern Knights SPICE Thurrock Academy Winter Festival Finals WGUK Programme 2014.qxp_Layout 1 06/04/2014 08:51 Page 8 WGUK British Winterguard Championships 2014 WGUK Judges It is my privilege to present my second end of season report for the Judging Team as Judges Co-ordinator. 2014 has been both a challenging and exciting season for the Judging Team, with numbers slightly down on the previous year due to either activity involvement or work commitments. Our dedicated “Training College Weekend” was held in late November in Cannock, saw 12 returning judges plus 4 new trainees. The event was facilitated by Edwin Beens (Technical Manager from CGN), the Caption Supervisors of Trevor Tomalin (Effect), Matt Johnson (Design), Darren Darton (Equipment & Movement) and myself, with further training days in both January prior to the first show of the season and also following the WGI UK Regional in February with colleagues from WGI, combined with ongoing caption based “Home Study”. By the commencement of the season we had 14 judges available and were able to welcome into our ranks the following individuals: • Tony Lees • Richard Gubby Throughout the season there has been good and constructive two-way dialogue between the Judging Team and competing units but as stated in my report last season it still remains our intention to jointly develop with units more realistic and accessible methods of communication and awareness events in relation to the approach and application of the judging system. As we move into the closed season our focus will be on the “RECRUITMENT” of new blood into the Judging Team, so if you are interested in judging in 2015 then please email [email protected] for more information.

To help the audience visualise the power and gentleness of the wind, Thurrock Academy will be performing as the most visual thing that we all see in everyday life when a breeze is gusting in an open place, the sheet of newspaper. A big, big thank you to all our Juniors members and staff, cadets members and staff, floor crew and support staff for helping ‘clear up the mess’ we could not have done it without you.
